SETsquared Workshop: How to develop effective networking skills

How to develop successful networking skills

Speaker
Paul Forster, SETsquared Bristol Incubation manager

Overview

Ever found yourself doing a last-minute cancellation for a networking event, simply because you were dreading the ‘networking time’ so much? Or found yourself at an event only to enjoy chatting to people you already know, but not being able to make any useful new connections for your business?

Join this workshop to learn tried and tested techniques on how to prepare for a networking event, how to make the most of it when you’re there, how to start and end conversations, and ensure you turn your new connections to long-term business relationships.

Who is it for?

Anyone who is a reluctant networker and wants to become more confident and effective. It is also for those who enjoy networking and want to pick up some practical tips.

By the end of the session, delegates will be able to:

• Define their purpose for networking
• Know how to start and end a conversation
• Benefit from newly made contacts
• Read body language
• Remember the name
• Follow up professionally and build the relationship

to hear news and updates from the Bristol SETsquared Centre, as well as catch up on our member news, events, opportunities and more!
